I've seen plenty of posts mentioning the need to trim wheel studs with the popular package from Lethal.

Does anyone know what wheel studs are used in this design?

Would it be smarter/easier to source proper length studs and press the provided ones out for a proper length/strength?

Open ended lugs are always an option, just curious about others opinions on a better solution than hacking up new studs.

With 1.25” spacers you don’t need to trim the studs at all.

Just go 30mm from Eibach. No trimming and not quite as far past the fender as 1.25. So that on all 4 corners and set rear camber to -.5° and all the wheels will match in the fender.

Would that be Part #: S90-4-30-057 for (2) sets?

It's funny. I mention about having the alignment done at -.5 rear camber and a couple alignment shops say," oh no, we have to go by factory specs", lol.

If a shop won’t set it where you want it’s time to find a better shop….or a shop with a better tech. All you found is a “green means good” shop.
